Why this matters
The chapter establishes Erumalu as the first city to be structurally killed by the drought (canal destroyed; population fleeing). Koza’s decision to ride on Nanohana is rooted in the Erumalu collapse. The chapter braids: Erumalu dying (cause) → Koza rides to Nanohana (effect) → Bon-Clay-as-Cobra burns Nanohana and shoots Koza (Operation Utopia exploit). Erumalu’s death is the precondition for the operation’s success.
